Day Fourteen - Littlebeck to Robin Hood's Bay
Fri. 22nd May 2009
Overnight:- Intake Farm - One of the best (if not the best) accommodation, saved until last, with a wonderful welcome with lashing of hot tea and Bakewell Tart. Intake is a proper working family farm, which also takes in B&B. There were just four of us last night and we all sat around the family dining table and were served up both chicken and beef casserole followed by home made rhubarb crumble and custard.

Big (not little) white bull - didn't like the way
it snorted and stamped its feet when I tried to get closer

Nanny and Billy (not necessarily in that order) over looking the garden gate as we leave Littlebeck

The Hermitage - hollowed out from solid rock.
It is situated in the Littlebeck Nature Reserve

Cheer up Matt - just look how much bigger you
are than that 20 foot plus high waterfall - Falling Floss

Not our first sighting of the sea, that was two
days ago but the first that was photographable. This is Whitby 6
miles to the north of our final destination of Robin Hoods Bay

Just for a change from sheep - Sheltered ponies
at a stud near High Hawkser

So close now - our first sighting of the Bay

Congratulations and well done - made it. We wash
our boots this time in the North Sea

Bar of the Bay Hotel right on the waters edge. We then adjourned
inside to take one or two libations as were richly deserved
